You are performing an aqueous extraction, and you forget which layer is the organic layer and which is the aqueous layer. What is the best way to solve this problem? a. Add a small amount of sodium sulfate - if it dissolves, the layer is water. b. Remove all the solvents via rotary evaporation and start again. c. Pick the top layer, as this is always the organic layer. d. Smell the two layers to see which one is an organic solvent.

In this lab you used acid/base extraction to remove acidic impurities, how could basic impurities be removed through extraction? Imagine the two compounds below are both dissolved in ethyl acetate (a standard organic solvent for extractions), create a diagram/flow chart that outlines steps that could be taken to separate them through acid/base extraction and recover each compound in its neutral Be sure to track when each compound is in the organic or aqueous layer.
What are emulsions? Why do they form during extractions? How is the formation of an emulsion minimized?

The key to a successful HPLC procedure is good sample separation which is represented by a clean peak for each individual compound. What should we do to ensure a good sample preparation? A. Use a column and a mobile phase with different polarity B. Use a column and a mobile phase with the same polarity C. Use a lower temperature higher than the mobile phase boiling point D. All of those
What are emulsions? Why do they form during extractions? How is their formation minimized?
While recrystallizing, what should you do if you have solid particles that don’t dissolve even after adding a lot more hot solvent than called for in the procedure?
Some organic solvents do not work well in liquid-liquid aqueous extractions. Ethanol (HOCH2CH3) is a common inexpensive solvent, but is a poor solvent for extractions. In ten or fewer words, provide an explanation for why ethanol is a poor solvent selection for extraction. Hint: you may want to look up various properties of the molecule.
